Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

The Air Line Pilots Association (the “ALPA”), as the sole holder of record of one share of the Series D Special Preferred Stock of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), is entitled, under the Company’s Amended By-laws, to nominate one director to the Company’s Board of Directors. On November 16, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Brian E. Boyer to the Board of Directors as the designee of the ALPA, following notification from the ALPA of Mr. Boyer’s nomination to serve as the ALPA’s designee.

 

There are no transactions in which Mr. Boyer has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.  In connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors, on November 16, 2010, Mr. Boyer was granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on such date.  The options have a ten-year term and vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
